>>   I'm not sure your concern is as clear cut as it might be with a
corporate server.  You mentioned in another thread today that you had a
problem with a collocated server for which your customer has responsibility
or shares responsibility for the server and you can suffer from your
customers mistakes.  This is not a technical issue and there is no
technical solution.<<

It is a technical issue and there is a technical solution, it's called
packet shaping and it should have stopped the traffic from the customers
machine from reaching the router at a rate greater then their allowed
bandwidth. I'm still trying to figure out what it is about this worm that
allowed it to get past the packet shaper. It's obviously a misconfiguration
of some sort since the packets weren't spoofed but as yet the technical
solution evades me..

But for a moment lets assume you are correct, that as long as a user is
involved there is no technical solution. What are the implications of this
line of reasoning wrt copy protection then?
